COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Our community partners play a collaborative role in enhancing and supporting initiatives for our local communities. 

At WorkLink Employment Society, we know that real change happens when we work together. Our community partners share our belief that everyone deserves to reach their full potential and contribute to our communities. Together, we strive to make lasting impacts by sharing knowledge, pooling resources, and strengthening the fabric of community support.

WorkLink Community Partners

WorkLink partners with local organizations, nonprofits, employers, education providers, and health and social service agencies across the Westshore, Sooke, and Port Renfrew regions. These partnerships help us deliver coordinated, inclusive supports that reduce barriers, build skills, and connect people to meaningful employment while strengthening the communities we serve.

START Community Partners

The START Program is built on strong community partnerships. By working alongside local organizations, service providers, and employers, START helps young people build skills, confidence, and real connections to employment.

WHAT COMMUNITY PARTNERS ARE SAYING

The Village Initiative

“WorkLink has been a true community partner, embodying the spirit of collaboration and consistently supporting young people and families across our fast-growing region. 

The team at WorkLink is exceptional. Not only are they welcoming and kind, but their commitment to the health and well-being of our community is apparent in everything they do. Their marketing and communications expertise has been nothing short of outstanding, and their generosity knows no bounds.  

Our partnership has led to invaluable support for planning and executing key events. I particularly appreciate WorkLink’s willingness to contribute to the community, whether it’s through sharing meeting spaces or championing progressive changes alongside others. Their efforts extend to providing a social service hub and fostering collaboration even among perceived competitors.  

One of the highlights of our collaboration was the annual TVI Youth Service provider event, which brought together nearly 40 local service organizations and hundreds of professionals focused on supporting children, youth, and families. The contributions from the WorkLink Marketing team made a significant difference, ensuring the event’s success and organization.  

I am profoundly grateful for the time, talents, and compassion the WorkLink team brings to our community. Their dedication truly makes a difference, and I look forward to continuing our partnership in the future.”

District of Sooke

“WorkLink is a vital partner for the District of Sooke, playing a key role in economic development beyond employment services. Together, we’ve advanced initiatives like the Juan de Fuca Regenerative Tourism Strategy and the Sooke to Port Renfrew Business Services Cooperative, where both organizations serve on the Board of Directors.

WorkLink was instrumental in engaging the community during the Municipal and Regional District Tax (MRDT) approval process, which will strengthen the local visitor economy and create jobs. They also share costs on development projects and hold a seat on the District’s Community Economic Development Standing Committee.

Without this collaboration, many of our community economic development goals would be far more difficult to achieve.”
